The Bitcoin (BTC) price has been consolidating over the last week and so floating just above the $26,000 level. On the technical charts, the selling pressure on the BTC price is clearly visible with analysts expecting a drop to $25,000 and below.

As per the PoW Floor pricing model, the BTC price can further drop by another 40% and under $15,000 levels, reports popular crypto journalist Ali Martinez. As per historical patterns, this would mark the end of bearish trends. Not necessary that the BTC price would drop to the $14,800 level as Bitcoin has very strong support at $20,900.

Analysts have also been flashing warning signals for investing in Bitcoin at this point. Considering previous cycles, the months of August and September have been periods of correction for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.

Bloomberg’s senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone explains that Bitcoin has already given a strong rally this year. Thus, one cannot expect its price to continue going higher from here onwards. Let’s wait for what the SEC has to say on the spot Bitcoin ETF applications filed with them.
